  • Patent number: 11543109
    Abstract: An environmentally sealed light fixture for illuminating potentially hazardous environments. The sealed light fixture includes multiple light modules that are independently rotatable to customize the direction of light emitted from the fixture. The fixture is also modular and scalable, enabling additional light modules to be added to increase lumen output or area coverage. The sealed light fixture includes sealed light chambers, electronics chambers, and sealed connections between the modules for maintaining the integrity as well as concealing the wiring and electrical connections within the light fixture.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 10, 2021
    Date of Patent: January 3, 2023

  • Patent number: 11193666
    Abstract: A linear luminaire comprising a scalable driver channel. The driver channel may be monolithic, formed by extrusion and cut to a custom length. The driver channel may provide a sealed enclosure for light engines and other components of the linear luminaire. The sealed enclosure may further be defined by end caps coupled to ends of the driver channel and light modules and accessory modules coupled to the bottom of the driver channel.

  • Publication number: 20210136888
    Abstract: A controller for a light fixture includes light intensity control circuitry to control intensity of light and color temperature control circuitry to control color temperature of light produced by a light engine, a first switch having a first switch cover disposed on an exterior portion of the controller, the first switch configured to communicate with the light intensity control circuitry to cause the light engine to produce a specified light intensity based on a position of the first switch cover, and a second switch having a second switch cover disposed on the exterior portion of the controller, the second switch configured to communicate with the color temperature control circuitry to cause the light engine to produce a specified color temperature of light based on a position of the second switch cover. The position of the first switch cover and the position of the second switch cover are manually selectable.

  • Patent number: 10989861
    Abstract: A lighting fixture that includes a frame, a heat sink assembly, an LED assembly, and a reflector. The frame includes a first end plate and a second end plate, each end plate including a slot formed therein. The slot extends from a top edge of the end plates towards a bottom edge of the end plates. The heat sink assembly includes one or more LEDs and a lightguide having a first longitudinal edge that receives light emitted from the LEDs. A first edge and a second edge of the lightguide are slidably inserted into respective slots. The heat sink assembly includes a heat sink base and a heat sink cap coupled thereto which forms a first cavity for housing the LEDs and a second cavity adjacent the first cavity for housing a portion of the lightguide. The reflector is coupled to the end plates.

  • Patent number: 10941932
    Abstract: A housing and an endcap may provide a water-resistant enclosure for an emergency lighting component. An upper side of the housing may include a curved surface extending above a vertical side of the housing. The vertical side may include an inclined surface and an extended edge that provide a first concave opening below the curved surface. A base side of the housing may include a curved surface extending partially below the vertical side. The vertical side may include an additional extended edge and a curved surface that provide a second concave opening where the vertical side joins the base side. The endcap may include a rim that overlaps a portion of the housing. The first or second concave openings may receive fasteners to attach the endcap. Mounting brackets may attach to the first or second concave openings, such as to attach the housing to a surface.
